He did not know why, but when he heard her words, his heart inexplicably softened, and a faint warmth flowed through his heart.
For a moment, he felt that if that was the case, the rest of his life would be worth it. If she really wanted something, he would be willing to work hard to give it to her, to work hard to protect her…
Perhaps she still did not love him. He did not know if he loved her too, but he knew very well how he felt—
He cared about her very much now. He cared so much that he thought she was more important than himself.
He cleared his throat and suddenly turned his face. He felt that his face warming up, but he said seriously, “If you give me a daughter, I’ll stay with you wholeheartedly.”
Dongfang Liuyun chuckled, and the worry she had been suppressing earlier faded away. She stretched her neck out to look at him, one hand propping up her chin. She looked at him with interest, his face a little crimson, and smiled, “Did I ever tell you that when you’re shy, you look quite cute? You look like a pure, inexperienced man, but you’re clearly an old man who’s past your 30s.”
Hearing this, Qi Lei glanced sideways at her and glared at her. “Mrs. Qi, I suddenly find that when you flirt with me, you’re like a hooligan.”
“But don’t you quite like me like this?”
Dongfang Liuyun raised her beautiful eyebrows. She was not reserved at all.
Qi Lei coughed lightly again and turned his gaze away. He could not be bothered to look at her.
…
The stifling atmosphere faded a lot. Not long after, the door to the operating theater was opened and the doctor walked out.
“How is it?”
Qi Lei supported Dongfang Liuyun and went up to him.
“Her right hand is fractured. There are many abrasions on her body. She has a mild concussion. The wound on her right chest is very deep and hurt her lungs. Fortunately, the direction of the tip of the knife was slightly off. Otherwise, the situation would be very serious. The injury is relatively severe. She’s fine for now after the surgery, but she still needs to be monitored in the intensive care unit. In addition, she might have a fever at night. We will monitor her,” the doctor said tiredly.
Dongfang Liuyun’s brows furrowed tightly. She did not expect her injuries to be so severe.
“Okay, we understand. Thank you.”
Qi Lei thanked him humbly.
The doctor nodded, “Don’t worry too much. She was sent over in time. If she recovers well, she’ll be able to recover after resting for a month or two. You don’t have to worry too much. Send the patient back to the intensive care unit first. Also, go and handle the hospitalization procedures.”
Song Siting was soon wheeled out from behind.
Her pale face was obviously very haggard. When Dongfang Liuyun looked at her, her eyes could not help but darken.
She followed the nurses and doctors to send her to the ICU. Qi Lei also sent his bodyguards to handle the hospitalization procedures.
Because her lungs were injured, Song Siting had to wear an oxygen mask. She looked extremely weak. As compared to before when she was stronger and sharper, the way she was now seemed jarring.
Dongfang Liuyun never thought that Song Siting would have a day like this, lying on the hospital bed, lifeless..
Looking at her haggard appearance, she suddenly thought that she seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. She was no longer as high-spirited as before.
She pulled a chair aside and sat down. Qi Lei was very considerate as he took off his coat and put it on her.
“The doctor said it’s fine. Don’t worry, she needs to rest.”
His low voice contained a faint warmth of comfort. His large hand reached out to her shoulder.
Dongfang Liuyun silently looked at Song Siting’s pale face. After a while, she sighed and said, “I’m afraid it’s only now that she can be less restless. I still can’t bear to let Father know about this. Fortunately, it’s not a big deal. Otherwise…”
“When I was younger, my parents didn’t want me to go to my mother’s law firm. I know that they were worried about me. Several times when the family went out for dinner, she happened to be blocked by others.”
“I understand what you said before. She’s my mother. I hope that she can live well of course, and I don’t want our mother-daughter relationship to be so stiff. But… you might not know what a stubborn person she is.”
Dongfang Liuyun felt a little worn out as she spoke, but she was also helpless.
“Help me deal with the ins and outs of this matter. I’m a little tired. The company’s matter has already given me a headache. Grandmother’s birthday is coming up soon. I think this time, we might not have such a good time.”
Dongfang Liuyun asked Qi Lei to help her share the burden. After all, it was hard for her to bear the burden. Since this man was her husband, it was normal for him to help her share these burden, right?
Qi Lei naturally nodded in agreement.
“Don’t worry. Yang Sheng will take care of it. It’s fine if this matter is simple, but I think that something isn’t right for something like this to happen at this time.”
“The situation is complicated now. Anything can happen, especially when Father is still far away in Myanmar. Let’s see what the situation will be like later before we make any plans.”. “I’ve been having a bad feeling recently. I didn’t expect something like this to happen today.”
“I’ll get Yang Sheng to investigate.”
“Okay, rest for a while. She needs to rest. I’m afraid I’ll have to stay here for another night tonight. You…”
“Of course, I’ll accompany you.”
Qi Lei quickly replied.
Dongfang Liuyun then nodded gently.
…
“President Lan, bad news. Lawyer Song was injured and is hospitalized. I heard that her injuries are very serious. Miss Dongfang has been with her the hospital.”
In the evening, just as night fell, Ah Li suddenly rushed in and said to Lan Xiu, who was eating dinner, with a solemn expression.
“What happened?”
When Lan Xiu heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing. His brows furrowed in an instant as he turned to look at Ah Li.
“It seems that the other party lost the case, so they attacked Lawyer Song. The news from the hospital seems to be quite serious. She suffered a cut to her lung. Fortunately, she was saved in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable,” Ah Li said simply.
Lan Xiu’s eyes darkened. His handsome face was also very tense. His face was very gloomy. After a long silence, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and drank a few mouthfuls of water. He took a napkin to wipe his mouth and stood up silently.
“President Lan, are we going to the hospital now? I’ll prepare the car right away…,” said Ah Li.
Lan Xiu raised his hand to stop him. He took the phone from the side and quickly dialed a number. The phone did not ring for long before someone picked it up.
